That's why you have to restart the server when you change that parameter. This way, there will be a checkpoint marking the change. > What is the base reason as to why ddls are not sent via logical > replication but the hot standby has ddl changes reflected absolutely > fine ? Physical streaming replication just replicates the database files, so it also replicates DDL statements, which are just changes to the catalog tables. Basically, anything that can be recovered can be replicated. Logical replication has to perform "logical decoding", that is, it has to translate the (physical) WAL information into logical information (waht row was modified in which table). So this is much more complicated. It should be possible in theory, but nobody has got around to solving the difficulties involved yet. > and there is one large limitation on large object support for logical > replication? > Where can I see the limitation on size or is it just certain data > types ? This has nothing to do with the size; I guess the answer is the same as above. One proble that I can see immediately is that primary and standby don't share the same OIDs, yet every large object is identified by its OID. So I think this is a fundamental problem that cannot be solved. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
